That's not a lie if there was no intention to disobey at the time. It's still extremely untrustworthy, just not directly a lie.

From: Anagram | #141
Quentyn mocked Rael about the party taking Learrette with them, which relates directly back to Vivi, as she was in charge of taking care of Learrette.


This isn't mocking Rael for Vivi's incompetence though. It is, again, a huge stretch. The end result is that Vivi got punished, but this doesn't jive with what actually happened.

Quentyn mocks Rael about the party having Learrette. Vivi's job was to protect Learrette. It is, at best, only indirectly mocking Rael about Vivi's incompetence.

So I have a crapton of stuff written for my CYOA deal thing but I find myself just proofreading it and being hesitant to post it. Ugh.

What I think I want to do at some point is run into plot-related characters (not the PARTY per se), as time passes. Some of this might require a bit of collaboration but I think something really cool can be done. I just need to get out of this weird funk where I can't make up my mind whether to post my work or not.

How appropriate...and I think I know what *our* sendoff for the Paragon tier is gonna be like. Obviously I'm not sure if it'll be timed such that it'll come to pass when it should, but hopefully it will.

PS: But seriously, it's such a pity that our rankup to Paragon wasn't actually the assault on the Godhead. Ah well.

The githzerai were like any other race; some lived on Githzerai-only islands, some lived among other races on other random islands. They weren't special nomads or anything.

So I was doing some thinking (read: over analyzing) about my roleplaying...

Right now, in my mind, I have Vanessa going through sort of a "character arc", where she's become a bit absorbed by her bloody past, and the current events regarding the Underworld sparked a lot of this, since seeing where the dead go was a major discovery for her.

Right now, there is cycle seems to be following a recurring pattern, where extreme circumstance leads to extreme action against it, which leads to more loss, suffering, and death on increasingly grand scale. Vanessa wants to put an end to it, but at the same time doubts herself capable of accomplishing such a thing because she believes herself to be "tainted", having been forced to commit many questionable, and sometimes outright evil acts from as early as her childhood to as recent as current day.

It all adds up in my head, but what I'm worried about, is it perhaps TOO MUCH at once? I feel like I'm trying to spotlight myself and it's not something I like the idea of, because I don't want to detract from anybody else's fun at the "table", as it were.

Should I tone it down?

Were people complaining or something? Doing a character arc thing is fine, I thought it was pretty obvious that's what you were doing anyway.

My only complaint, as it were, is that Vanessa has been getting awfully depressing. Gonna make me sadface.

and no, vanessa seems fine imo, not any more spotlight than half the other cast has taken. i agree, a little depressing, but the act itself is not so bad, welcome even. as a party we each get a vote on how to use the party's event shaping powers.

Well, if that's the case we can't fault you for it. Besides, I cancelled my own game for two weeks in a row due to school stuff, so we're even.

My only complaint about Vanessa is that I feel like she's shying away from her duty. She tends to take this very...I wanna say passive position, where she wants to only get what is immediately pressing done, and I feel like it just doesn't fit with her compassionate portrayal evidenced so far. I don't feel like this is some great flaw though, as much as an inconsistency. I'd kill for a chance to ask her about this in-character with Valerian, actually.

PS: Also, your character arc is totally fine, that aside. Keep at it!

Remember if nothing else, Vance/essa is kind of dumb. I would have put 8 for intelligence and wisdom if I could, but it's against the point-buy system of 4th. S/he can be clever when s/he wants to be, but s/he grew up in an environment that squandered the ability to develop that way, aside from just being traumatizing. Honestly she's probably a teeny bit deranged in just the right way, if only a little bit.

With that said, the notion of the world completely and utterly ending is something overwhelming to him/her, and it has called for drastic actions, which is something that scares him/her because s/he wants to put as much distance between his/her upbringing as an assassin as s/he can.

Right, I gotcha. It's just that, from Valerian's perspective, most of the group is kind of a constant surprise because they're so...indecisive, maybe? It's like, Valerian has power. And he knows the rest of the party has power. And he uses it, lots, but the others don't. And it kind of baffles him. Like I said, it's something I really wanna tackle in-character because I feel like either one or both parties might uncover some new insights from it.
